Seattle Rapper Freddy E Dead In Apparent Suicide

So tragic. The Seattle hip hop artist, 22, allegedly took his own life by shooting himself in the head after a series of tweets in which he revealed his extreme depression and heartbreak.

Frederick Eugene Buhl, aka Freddy E, was found dead on Jan. 5 after apparently committing suicide. The Seattle rapper, 22, was best known for his YouTube webisode program, titled Jerk TV, which mostly featured comedy segments and some original rap songs.

Freddy E allegedly killed himself after a series of tweets in which he said he suffered an extreme “heartbreak” — and then threatened to shoot himself in the head.

“If there’s a God then He’s calling me back home. This barrel never felt so good next to my dome. It’s cold & I’d rather die than live alone,” he tweeted on Jan. 5.

“It’s… all… bad… y’all. *puts finger around trigger*” he tweeted a little later, and then added. “I love you mom. I love you Dad. I love you Katherine. God… please forgive me. I’m sorry,” he wrote in a series of tweets.
